$$\text { Figure } 5

Question

$$\text { Figure } 5 < 1$$
-Refer to Figure 5-1. To accurately measure the total current for this circuit, how must the ammeter be connected?
A) between the negative terminal and the supply and ground 
B) between R1 and the fuse 
C) between the positive terminal and the fuse 
D) either A or C

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ammeter should be connected in series with the circuit, either between the negative terminal and the supply and ground (option A) or between the positive terminal and the fuse (option C). This allows the ammeter to measure the total current flowing through the circuit. Option B (between R1 and the fuse) would only measure the current flowing through R1, not the total current. Therefore, option D (either A or C) is the best choice.
